Fatwa




It’s been a banner year for book burning with To Kill a Mockingbird, Beloved and Huckleberry Finn removed from the shelves. Salman Rushdie made the point on Fareed Zakaria's GPS. The famed author who was the subject of a fatwa for The Satanic Verses (1988) and who appeared on Fareed Zaharia’s GPS  with 
a dark lens covering his stabbed eye is, however, an equal opportunity employer “I disapprove of what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it," Zakaria and 
Rushie both said, quoting Voltaire, in chorus. To wit at the height of the #MeToo movement censorship and blacklisting were rampant. Big Brother is watching whether you’re looking right or left.
